Information display assembly

Abstract

A method of presenting sales information to an automobile customer on an automobile having a window that may be slid vertically within a window frame. The method uses an informational slip and a slip holder sized to accept the information slip. The slip holder includes a clip defines a downwardly facing open channel and a tongue extending downwardly from the front wall. Also, a sheet of resiliently deformable material is attached to the tongue and bent backwards at a bending point defining the sheet holder bottom and a rear panel extending upwardly from the bending point. The informational slip is placed on the car window so that information is displayed through the front portion, which is transparent. The clip is formed so as to press the sheet into the window, thereby acting to reduce gaps between the informational slip and the front panel and, as a consequence, enhancing slip visibility.

1. A method of presenting sales information to an automobile customer on an automobile having a window that may be slid vertically within a window frame having a top channel, comprising:
 (a) providing an informational slip; 
 (b) providing a slip holder sized to accept and retain said information slip and having a top, a bottom, a front and a back, said slip holder including:
 (i) a clip at said top and said front and having a front wall and a rear wall, mutually joined together by a top wall, said walls together defining a downwardly facing open channel, a tongue extending downwardly from said front wall; and 
 (ii) a sheet of resiliently deformable material, of which a transparent front panel is attached to and extends downwardly from said tongue, said sheet being bent backwards at a bending point defining said sheet holder bottom and a rear panel extending upwardly from said bending point and defining an interior between said front panel and said rear panel; 
 
 (c) placing said informational slip in said interior so that information is displayed through said front panel; 
 (d) engaging said clip to the top of said automobile window so that said sheet extends downwardly in front of said window and engaging said window to said open channel of said window frame; and 
 (e) said clip being formed so as to press said sheet into said window, thereby acting to reduce any gaps between said informational slip and said front panel and, as a consequence, enhancing slip visibility. 
 
   
   
     2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said sheet is transparent over its entire extent. 
   
   
     3. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said clip is adhered to said sheet. 
   
   
     4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said clip is crimped to said sheet. 
   
   
     5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said clip is made of metal. 
   
   
     6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein said sheet is made of transparent plastic. 
   
   
     7. An article for displaying an informational slip so that it is visible on a sliding automobile window, and having a top, a bottom, a front and a back, said article comprising:
 (a) a metal clip at said top and front, having a downwardly facing channel, defined in part by a front wall which is connected to a downwardly extending tongue by a downwardly and forwardly extending bridge, said front wall defining a front wall plane and said tongue defining a tongue plane and said front wall plane and said tongue plane defining a rearwardly facing wall tongue plane angle of less than 180 degrees; 
 (b) a downwardly extending plastic sheet attached to said tongue and that is bent in a rearward manner at about a 180 degree angle to form a transparent front panel and a rear panel; and 
 (c) said tongue and thereby said plastic sheet extending rearwardly as they extend downwardly, thereby causing said plastic sheet to be pressed into a car window when said article is mounted on a car window by placing said downwardly facing channel ontop of a car window. 
 
   
   
     8. The article of  claim 7 , wherein said clip is adhered to said sheet. 
   
   
     9. The article of  claim 7 , wherein said clip is crimped to said sheet. 
   
   
     10. The article of  claim 7 , wherein said clip is made of metal. 
   
   
     11. The article of  claim 7 , wherein said sheet is made of transparent plastic. 
   
   
     12. An article for displaying an informational slip so that it is visible on a sliding automobile window, and having a top, a bottom, a front and a back, said article comprising:
 (a) a metal clip at said top and front, having a front wall and a rear wall, mutually joined together by a top wall, said walls together defining a downwardly facing open channel, a large tongue extending downwardly from said front wall; 
 (b) a downwardly extending plastic sheet attached to said large tongue and that is bent in a rearward manner at about a 180 degree angle to form a transparent front Panel and a rear panel; and 
 (c) said large tongue defining a through-hole and having a downwardly extending small tongue extending into said through-hole and wherein said small tongue and said large tongue are crimped into said plastic sheet.
